I never drank on the job, Dave - always thought that was really dumb on the part of the entertainer. The best entertainment I had as a performer was to watch the drunks in the crowd - now that, sometimes, was very entertaining.

I don't like the way morphine makes me feel, drowsy, half asleep, but it does a good job in reducing the pain, which is what it was intended for. You really don't get high with morphine, but I guess some folks think they are when they take enough to kill them. It is not a stimulant, but instead, a suppressant, which is just the opposite. I never could quite understand why people got hooked on morphine - did they want to just be semi-conscious or comatose? Never made any sense to me at all.

I do enjoy the taste of Jim Bean Honey, though - great tasting bourbon!

All the best,

Gary
